Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9917495A1] A system and method for configuring and registering a cryptographic device (150). The configuraion phase involves loading a device serial number (DSER) and a symetric key (SK) into non-volatile memory (215) of the cryptographic device (150). The non-volatile memory (215) is integrated with the processing logic (210) of the cryptographic device (150). DSER is provided by an external source while SK is generated within the cryptographic device (150). The registration phase involves providing DSER to a database (415, 420) that contains cryptographic information associated with each cryptographic device (150) manufactured. The cryptographic information includes at least a public key and a private key encrypted with the SK. DSER is ured to locate the appropriate cryptographic information and to transmit the cryptographic information to an electronic system having the cryptographic device (150).
